Articles about Duleep Mendis


Profile:

When the mood struck him Mendis was capable of destroying bowling attacks with remarkable exhibitions of attacking strokeplay at any level of the game. A marvelously gifted batsman, Mendis played a vital role following Sri Lanka's arrival into the Test arena. After two Tests he took over the mantle of captaincy from Bandula Warnapura. Considering the circumstances, he performed admirably leading Sri Lanka to its inaugural Test and series victory against India.

Already an experienced first-class player when Sri Lanka started playing Test cricket, Mendis was aged 29 on debut; he initially struggled to adjust to cricket at the highest level. A half century against the Australians at Kandy seemed to settle his nerves and he followed this performance with a striking display against India in the one off test at Madras. Mendis became the first Sri Lankan cricketer to make two centuries in a Test striking a 105 in each innings, in only his 6th Test match. Injury ruled him out of the Test series in New Zealand and when the Kiwis toured Sri Lanka he had a miserable time with the bat. He returned to form with a scintillating display against England thrilling the Lord's crowd with his strokeplay. Scoring 111 at nearly a run a ball in the first innings he narrowly failed to repeat his previous feat of twin centuries scoring 94 in the second innings. As well as captaining Sri Lanka in its first Test victory against India he also led from the front with the bat being the leading run scorer in the series. Unfortunately following the series he went into a steady decline and his performances deteriorated culminating with Ranjan Madugalle replacing him as captain. He went out on a high note personally scoring 56 in his last Test innings.

In the following years he remained in the public eye managing the test side for a number of years with distinction. (Johann P Jayasekera , Sep 1999)
